Billy Idol to Get Remixed Again on ‘Vital Idol: Revitalized’

Billy Idol's mid-'80s album Vital Idol was a rarity in the rock world: a collection of dance floor-friendly remixes.

Now he's revisiting the concept with Vital Idol: Revitalized, which is coming out on Sept. 28.

Idol isn't reissuing the original LP; instead, he's giving a 21st century touch to some of his best-loved songs through remixes by various EDM producers.

He's also changed around the track listing. There's no "Love Calling," and "Mony Mony" is available only as a digital bonus track in a new version by Idol and longtime collaborator Steve Stevens.

Those tracks have been replaced by a Moby remix of "(Do Not) Stand in the Shadows," Paul Oakenfold's take on "One Breath Away," Tropkillaz's reworking of "Eyes Without a Face and Shiba San's remix of "Don't Need a Gun."

Another bonus track, the Lost Dog remix of "Save Me Now," was created by a team that includes Idol's son Willem Wolfe. You can listen to RAC's remix of "Dancing With Myself" below.

In addition to the CD, Vital Idol: Revitalized will also be released on two LPs, with black vinyl and limited-edition colored vinyl arriving Nov. 16. You can check out the track listing below.
